A SNACK fan who rowed with her boyfriend after accusing him of stealing her Wotsits has now settled on another theory — a crisp-thieving MOUSE.
Tacha Ward, 21, believes a sneaky rodent keeps nicking her favourite flavour — having already stolen 14 bags of the cheesy crisps.
She claims the mouse, nicknamed "Boberella", shares similar tastes to her after pinching every packet of Wotsits from a Walkers 40x multipack.
Tacha has even heard her suspect dashing through the walls and caught it nibbling on a cracker in her cupboard at home in Sheffield, South Yorks.
She said: "I have no idea why it was after the crisps. Maybe it has the same appetite as me."
Her nemesis keeps leaving her with her least favourite Monster Munch and Quavers — while pilfering the cheese puff Wotsits.
After Tacha becoming convinced of its guilt, the mouse has absolved her lover Niall Johnstone who she initially accused of making off with the snack.
“I blamed my partner and was asking him why he’d eaten all my crisps.
“But they still disappeared and the other day I had a packet of crackers open in my cupboard and the mouse was happily eating crackers.
“When I blamed my partner it caused a bit of an argument with him, and it wasn’t until we caught the mouse with a cracker that I forgave him.
“We left another cracker out as bait to see if it disappeared, and a few hours later the cracker had gone."
Tacha now lives in fear of spending money on Wotsits again in case they vanish before she can enjoy them.
And she is angry her neigbours have refused to help her with her ordeal by lending her their mouse-hunting cat.
She added: "I am scared to buy some Wotsits now - until it’s sorted I’m not buying any Wotsits. I can’t afford to be funding a mouse’s eating habits when it isn’t mine.”
"I asked my neighbour if I could borrow his cat but he wouldn’t let me. He didn’t want me to put it in the cupboard to try and get this mouse.
“It’s a shame because it would have been a really easy solution. Somebody told me that if the mouse smelled the cat it wouldn’t come back, which is why I tried getting it.”
Tacha is convinced it burrowed through a hole in her cupboard.

And she is at a loss as to how to defeat it.
She said: "I’ve never had to deal with a mouse before. It’s the first time.
"I just feel uncomfortable knowing that there’s a mouse in the house.
“I don’t know what to do. Mice can eat through concrete apparently so I can’t cover the hole up."
